ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Reference is made to the Partnership's annual report for the year ended December 31, 1997 for a discussion of the Partnership's business. OPERATIONS The table below is a recap of the Partnership's share of certain operating results of 1800 Sherman Office Building ("1800 Sherman"), which was sold on August 6, 1998, for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997. The discussion following the table should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing in this report. Comparative Operating Results (a) For the Quarters For the Nine Months Ended Ended 9/30/98 9/30/97 9/30/98 9/30/97 - ---------------------------------------------------------- Rental revenues $162,100 $404,800 $971,600 $1,182,000 - ---------------------------------------------------------- Property net income $237,000 $ 98,700 $440,300 $ 284,200 - ---------------------------------------------------------- (a) Excludes certain income and expense items, which are not directly related to individual property operating results such as interest income and general and administrative expenses. The gain on sale of property recorded in 1998 has also been excluded. Unless otherwise disclosed, discussions of fluctuations between 1998 and 1997 refer to both the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997. Net income increased by $1,817,400 and $1,835,000 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1998 when compared to the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively. The increases in net income were primarily the result of the gain recorded on the sale of 1800 Sherman. In addition, the increases were due to increases in interest earned on the Partnership's short-term investments, which was due to an increase in cash available for investment. The improvement in operating results at 1800 Sherman for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1998 when compared to the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997 was primarily due to real estate taxes. In connection with the sale of 1800 Sherman, the purchaser assumed the responsibility for payment of all unbilled real estate taxes. The credit given and agreed to by the purchaser for the assumption of this obligation was significantly less than the amount accrued by the Partnership. Exclusive of real estate taxes, results for 1800 Sherman diminished due to absence of operating results subsequent to the August 6, 1998 sale. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES One of the Partnership's objectives was to dispose of its property when market conditions allowed for the achievement of the maximum possible sales price. Notwithstanding the Partnership's intention relative to the sale of its property, another primary objective of the Partnership is to provide cash distributions to Partners from Partnership operations. To the extent cash distributions to Partners exceed net income, such excess distributions are treated as a return of capital. Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) is generally not equal to net income or cash flows as determined by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), since certain items are treated differently under the Partnership Agreement than under GAAP. Management believes that to facilitate a clear understanding of the Partnership's operations, an analysis of Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) should be examined in conjunction with an analysis of net income or cash flows as determined by GAAP. The following table includes a reconciliation of Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) to cash flows provided by operating activities as determined by GAAP. Such amounts are not indicative of actual distributions to Partners and should not be considered as an alternative to the results disclosed in the Statements of Income and Expenses and Cash Flow. Comparative Cash Flow Results For the Nine Months Ended 9/30/98 9/30/97 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) $ 691,400 $ 515,400 Items of reconciliation: Decrease (increase) in current assets 31,100 (2,700) (Decrease) in current liabilities (668,900) (159,000) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Net cash provided by operating activities $ 53,600 $ 353,700 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Net cash provided by investing activities $ 3,781,100 $ 471,400 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Net cash (used for) financing activities $ (426,900) $ (385,900) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) increased by $176,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The increase was primarily due to the favorable credit given to cover payment of real estate taxes, as previously discussed. Also contributing to the increase was the increase interest earned on the Partnership's short-term investments. The increase was partially offset by the partial absence of operating results due to the August 1998 sale of 1800 Sherman. The increase in the Partnership's cash position of $3,407,800 was primarily the result of the receipt of proceeds from the sale of 1800 Sherman. The increase was partially offset by the Partnership utilizing a portion of the Sale Proceeds to make investments in debt securities. Liquid assets (including cash, cash equivalents and investments in debt securities) as of September 30, 1998 are comprised of Sale Proceeds to be distributed to Limited Partners and amounts held for working capital purposes. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities of $300,100 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was primarily the result of the timing of the payment of real estate taxes. Real estate taxes were paid one year in arrears in two installments. The credit given to the purchaser for real estate taxes at the closing of 1800 Sherman accelerated payment and resulted in reduced cash from operating activities. 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Net cash provided by investing activities increased by $3,309,700 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 when compared to the nine months September 30, 1997. The increase was primarily due to the 1998 receipt of proceeds from the sale of 1800 Sherman. The increase was partially offset by the effects of an increase in investments in debt securities. The investments in debt securities is a result of the continued extension of the maturities of certain of the Partnership's short-term investments in an effort to maximize the return on these amounts as they are held for distribution to Partners. These investments are of investment grade and generally mature less than one year from their date of purchase. The increase in net cash used for financing activities of $41,000 for the nine- month periods under comparison was primarily the result of the credit given to the buyer for assuming the obligation of security deposits in connection with the 1998 sale of 1800 Sherman. On August 6, 1998, the joint venture in which the Partnership owns a 50% interest consummated the sale of 1800 Sherman. The Partnership's share of Sale Proceeds from this transaction was $7,280,000. The Partnership intends to make a distribution of $6,896,200 or $47.50 per Unit on November 30, 1998 to Limited Partners of record as of August 6, 1998 in connection with this transaction. In accordance with the contract to sell the property, the joint venture placed $500,000 of the proceeds from this transaction into an interest bearing account for a nine-month period. The funds placed into escrow are intended to cover potential claims asserted by the purchaser arising from the representations and warranties made by the joint venture. The General Partner is working towards wrapping up the Partnership's affairs. Upon completion, together with the release of the remaining funds held in escrow, the Partnership intends to make a liquidating distribution, less any amounts needed to cover wrap up expenses and actual and contingent liabilities, during 1999. The Year 2000 problem is the result of the inability of existing computer programs to distinguish between a year beginning with "20" rather than "19". This is the result of computer programs using two rather than four digits to define an applicable year. If not corrected, any program having time-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a variety of problems including miscalculations, loss of data and failure of entire systems. Critical areas that could be affected are accounts receivable, accounts payable, general ledger, cash management, investor services, computer hardware and telecommunications systems. The Partnership has engaged Affiliated and unaffiliated entities to perform all of its critical functions that utilize software that may have time-sensitive applications. All of these service providers are providing these services for their own organizations as well as for their clients. The General Partner,on behalf of the Partnership, has been in close communication with each of these service providers regarding steps that they are taking to assure that there will be no serious interruption of the operations of the Partnership resulting from Year 2000 problems. Based on the results of these inquires, as well as a review of the disclosures by these service providers, the General Partner believes that the Partnership will be able to continue normal business operations and will incur no material costs related to Year 2000 issues. The Partnership has not formulated a contingency plan. However, the General Partner believes that based on the status of the Partnership's real estate portfolio and its limited number of transactions, aside from catastrophic failures of banks, governmental agencies, etc., it could carry out substantially all of its critical operations on a manual basis or easily convert to systems that are Year 2000 compliant. Distributions to Limited Partners for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 were declared in the amount of $116,200 or $0.80 per Unit. Cash distributions are made 60 days after the last day of each fiscal quarter. Based upon the current value of its assets, net of its outstanding liabilities, together with its expected operating results, the General Partner believes that the Partnership's cumulative distributions to its Limited Partners from inception through the termination of the Partnership will be less than such Limited Partners' original Capital Contribution. 3 PART I.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: DEFINITION OF SPECIAL TERMS: Capitalized terms used in this report have the same meaning as those terms have in the Partnership's Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-11. Definitions of these terms are contained in Article III of the First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, which is included in the Registration Statement and incorporated herein by reference. ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The Partnership utilizes the accrual method of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when incurred. Preparation of the Partnership's financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial information included in these financial statements is unaudited; however, in management's opinion, all adjustments (consisting of only normal, recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods included have been made. Results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the year ending December 31, 1998. The financial statements include the Partnership's 50% interest in a joint venture with an Affiliated partnership. This joint venture was formed for the purpose of acquiring a 100% interest in 1800 Sherman Office Building and until its August 1998 sale was operated under the common control of the General Partner and an Affiliate of the General Partner. Accordingly, the Partnership's pro rata share of the venture's revenues; expenses, assets, liabilities and Partners' capital is included in the financial statements. Commercial rental property is recorded at cost, net of any provisions for value impairment, and depreciated (exclusive of amounts allocated to land) on the straight-line method over its estimated useful life. Lease acquisition fees are recorded at cost and amortized on the straight-line method over the life of each respective lease. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred; expenditures for improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated life of such improvements. The Partnership evaluates its rental property for impairment when conditions exist which may indicate that it is probable that the sum of expected future cash flows (undiscounted) from such property is less than its carrying basis. Upon determination that a permanent impairment has occurred, the carrying basis of the rental property is reduced to its estimated fair value. Management was not aware of any indicator that would result in a significant impairment loss during the periods reported. Property sales are recorded when title transfers and sufficient consideration has been received by the Partnership. Upon disposition, the related costs and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from their respective accounts. Any gain is recognized in accordance with GAAP. Cash equivalents are considered all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. Investments in debt securities are comprised of corporate debt securities and are classified as held-to-maturity. These investments are carried at their amortized cost basis in the financial statements, which approximated fair value. All of these securities had maturities of less than one year when purchased. Certain reclassifications have been made to the previously reported 1997 financial statements in order to provide comparability with the 1998 financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or Partners' capital. Reference is made to the Partnership's annual report for the year ended December 31, 1997, for a description of other accounting policies and additional details of the Partnership's financial condition, results of operations, changes in Partners' capital and changes in cash balances for the year then ended. The details provided in the notes thereto have not changed except as a result of normal transactions in the interim or as otherwise disclosed herein. 2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS: In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, commencing with the fiscal quarter in which the Minimum Subscription Closing Date occurred (the quarter ended March 31, 1989), Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), if any, is distributed 90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partner. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1998, the General Partner was entitled to a distribution of Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) of $12,900 and $38,700, respectively. In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, Losses (exclusive of Losses from a Major Capital Event) are allocated 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners as a group. Losses from a Major Capital Event, including any provisions for value impairment, are allocated prior to giving effect to any distribution of Sale or Refinancing Proceeds from such Major Capital Event; first, to the General Partner and Limited Partners with positive balances in their Capital Accounts, in proportion to and to the extent of such positive balances; and second, the balance, if any, 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners as a group. Profits (exclusive of Profits from a Major Capital Event) are allocated; first, in accordance with the ratio in which Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) was distributable among the Partners for such fiscal year, to the extent of such Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement); provided, however, that if the Partnership makes no distributions of Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) for such fiscal year, then such Profits are allocated 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners as a group; and second, the balance, if any, 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners as a group. Profits from a Major Capital Event are allocated prior to giving effect to any distribution of Sale or Refinancing Proceeds from such Major Capital Event; first, to the General Partner and Limited Partners with negative balances in their Capital Accounts, in proportion to and to the extent of such negative balances; 6 second, in proportion to and to the extent of the amounts, if any, necessary to make the positive balance in the Capital Account of each Limited Partner equal to the Capital Investment of such Limited Partner; third, in proportion to and to the extent of the amounts, if any, necessary to make the positive balance in the Capital Account of each Limited Partner equal to the Capital Investment of such Limited Partner, plus an amount equal to a cumulative, simple return of 6% per annum on the Capital Investment from time to time of such Limited Partner from the date on which the investment in the Partnership was made (less amounts previously returned by way of Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) and Sale or Refinancing Proceeds in payment of said cumulative return); and fourth, any remaining Profits are allocated 17% to the General Partner and 83% to the Limited Partners as a group. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the interest of the General Partner in each material item of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction or credit will be equal to at least 1% of each such item at all times during the existence of the Partnership. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1998, the General Partner was allocated Profits of $47,200 and $70,000, respectively, both of which included a gain from the sale of property of $16,200. Fees and reimbursements paid and (receivable)/payable by the Partnership to Affiliates during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1998 were as follows: Paid Nine (Receivable) Quarter Months Payable - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Property management and leasing fees $ 9,300 $58,400 $(6,100) Reimbursement of property insurance premiums, at cost 1,300 4,800 None Legal 14,600 15,500 10,000 Reimbursement of expenses, at cost: --Accounting 900 4,500 1,000 --Investor communication 1,500 3,300 600 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ $27,600 $86,500 $ 5,500 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ On-site property management for the Partnership's property was provided by an Affiliate of the General Partner for fees ranging from 3% to 6% of gross rents received from the property. 3. PROPERTY SALE: On August 6, 1998, the joint venture in which the Partnership owns a 50% interest consummated the sale of 1800 Sherman for a sale price of $15,050,000. The Partnership's share of Sale Proceeds from this transaction amounted to $7,280,000, which is net of actual and estimated closing expenses. The Partnership recorded a gain of $1,622,900 for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 in connection with this transaction. In accordance with the contract to sell the property, the joint venture placed $500,000 of the proceeds from this transaction into an interest bearing account for a nine-month period. The funds placed into escrow are intended to cover any potential claims asserted by the purchaser arising from the representations and warranties made by the joint venture. The Partnership will distribute $6,896,200 or $47.50 per Unit on November 30, 1998 to Holders of record as of August 6, 1998. Following this distribution, the General Partner will work towards wrapping up the Partnership's affairs. Upon completion, together with the release of the remaining funds held in escrow, the Partnership intends to make a liquidating distribution, less funds needed to cover wrap up expenses and remaining actual and contingent liabilities, during 1999. 7 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
